Psalms 143
1 Yahweh, hear me while I pray to you! Because you are righteous and because you faithfully do what you have promised, listen to what I am pleading that you [do for me].
Vo Yahweh Pakai, kataona ngaijin. Kangeh hi nei ngaipeh teijin! Nangma kitahna le dihna bang in, neidonbut in.
2 I am one who serves you; do not judge me, because you know that everyone has done things that are wrong).
Nalhacha hi nei patep hih in chule kachung thu jong tan hihbeh in, ajeh chu koima na ang-sunga adih aumpoi.
3 [My] enemies have pursued me; they have completely defeated me. [It is as though] they have put me in a dark [prison], where I [have nothing good to] ([hope for/expect]), like those who died long ago [SIM].
Ajeh chu kagal miten eihin del peh in, kahing chang in tolgoi nan ineijin, lhan khuh-a athisa umho bangin, kada kacham louvin muthim lah'a eiumsah tai.
4 So I am very discouraged; I am very dismayed/worried.
Hijeh chun keiman kinepna ding kanei tapon, kalung sung kichatnan adim e.
5 I remember what has happened previously: I (meditate on/think about) all the things that you have done; I consider [all] the [great] deeds that you [SYN] have performed.
Keiman khanglui nikho chesa ho kageldoh'in, nakhut tenia natohdohsa thil thupi ho kagel jing in ahi.
6 I lift up my hands/arms to you while I pray; I [SYN] need you, like very dry ground [needs rain] [SIM].
Kakhut tenin nahenglam kasang'in kataovin, Gamgo-in sadoh leuva twi angaichat bang in; keiman nangma kangaichan ahi.
7 Yahweh, I am very discouraged, [so] please answer me right now! Do not hide from me, because if you do that, I will [soon] be [SIM] among those who descend to where the dead people are.
O Yahweh Pakai, nei donbut loijin, ajeh chu kahin kho bei pai ding ahitai. Keija kon'in kihei mang hih in, ijeh-inem itileh lhan khuh-a lhalut ho kabah ding ahi.
8 [Every] morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love [me], because I trust in you. I (pray/send my prayers up [IDM]) to you; show me what I should do.
Jingkah sehleh nalungsetna longlou neijahsah in, ajeh chu keima kingaina nangbou nahi. Kalam lhahna jouse neihil them in, kahin kho hi nangma dia kaphal theng ahi.
9 Yahweh, I have gone/run to you to be protected, [so] rescue me from my enemies.
O Yahweh Pakai, kagal mitea kon'in neihuhdoh in, nahenga kisel dinga hung jamlut kahi bouve.
10 You are my God; teach me to do what you want me to do. I want your good Spirit to lead me on a path that is not difficult to walk on.
Ka Pathen Elohim nahi, nadeilam bolje neihil in, name khotona lhagao chun dettah'a pan kalah jingna din neipui jing in.
11 Yahweh, restore me when I am close to dying, as you promised to do. Because you are righteous/good, rescue me from my troubles/difficulties!
O Yahweh Pakai, namin loupina ding in kahinkho hinghoi teijin. Ajeh chu nakitahna jal'in kahahsatna'a kon in nei puidoh tan.
12 I am one who serves you; so because you faithfully love [me], kill my enemies and get rid of all those who (oppress/cause trouble for) me.
Nami ngailutna longlou chun, kagal mite manthahsan in! Chule nalhacha kahi, eidou ho jouse sumang hel in.
